DETAILED DESCRIPTION

The present Rigging Line Organizer for Fly-Box will now be discussed indetail with regard to the attached drawing figures, which were brieflydescribed above. In the following description, numerous specific detailsare set forth illustrating the Applicants' best mode for practicing theRigging Line Organizer for Fly-Box and enabling one of ordinary skill inthe art to make and use the Rigging Line Organizer for Fly-Box. It willbe obvious, however, to one skilled in the art that the present RiggingLine Organizer for Fly-Box may be practiced without many of thesespecific details. In other instances, well-known manufacturing methods,mechanical engineering considerations, preferences and best practicesfor the sport of fly-fishing, and other details have not been describedin particular detail in order to avoid unnecessarily obscuring thisdisclosure.

FIG. 1 shows a perspective view that illustrates scene 100 where flyfishermen 110 is fly-fishing in river 120. Fisherman 110 has prepared togo fly-fishing at river 120. Fisherman 110 has fishing rod 130, asshown. Fishing line 140 usually includes a length of fly line (woundabout the rod spool), connected to a tapering leader that is finallyconnected to a fly. Fly fishermen 110 may prefer a tandem rig (orsimilar nymph rig, dry-dropper rig, dropper rig, etc.), such as a tandemrig instead of a single fly, when trying to catch a particular fish, orwhen fishing in a particular area, or when fishing at a particular timeof year. For example, fly fisherman 110 may hope to catch a certain kindof fish worthy of a fish story (of course, not shown) so, the flyfisherman 110 may select certain combinations of flies (or nymphs) touse in tandem prior to arriving at river 120. Fly fishermen 110 mayprepare tandem rigs 150 and 170 and carry them to river 120 in afly-box.

Typically, when placing tandem rigs in a fly-box, the tippet fishingline used in the tandem rig may become tangled when stored in thefly-box. Previously, a tandem rig would be simply hooked into the foam(or foam serrations) inside of a fly-box, and, the fly-box would beclosed. Stowing and retrieving different sets of tandem rigs from thefly-box would be prone to tangling. Tangling would slow down orfrustrate the process of changing rigs and would otherwise frustrate theenjoyment of the fly-fishing trip. When using tandem rigs, fly boxorganization can be problematic.

Considering exploded portion A, fly fisherman 110, by contrast, hasprepared for this fly-fishing trip by winding tandem rig 150 aroundbobbin 151 with an attached hook 159, as shown. Tandem rig 150 includesa length of tippet fishing line 153, two fishhooks 155, and two flies157, as shown. Tippet fishing line 153 may be wound around bobbin 151,as shown. After winding, tandem rig 150 may be stowed in a fly-box byhooking hook 159 into the foam teeth of the fly-box, hooking fishhooks155 on either side of bobbin 151 into the foam teeth of the fly-box,which allows tandem rig 150 to be securely positioned in the fly-boxsuch that tippet 153 will not become entangled with any other tandemrig.

Similarly, tandem rig 170 may be stowed in a fly-box, as shown atexploded portion B. Tandem rig 170 includes tippet fishing line 173, twofishhooks 175, and two flies 177, as shown. Tandem rig 170 may be stowedin fly-box 178, by wrapping fishing line 173 around bobbin 171, asshown. Fly-box 178 includes foam teeth 176, and bobbin 171. In thisexample, bobbin 171 is permanently attached to fly-box 178, foam 176, orboth.

These configurations allow tandem rigs 150 and 170 to be stowed andretrieved from the fly-box with a minimal risk of entanglement with eachother, any other tandem rig, or any other flies that are stored infly-box 178. This solution is simple, handy, and universal. Thehook-and-bobbin may attach to any commercially available fly box,whereby, it may provide a solution to tangled fishing line used intandem rigs.

Further, while preparing for a fly-fishing outing, the system may beused to provide storage for pre-tied combinations of tandem rigs,thereby saving time compared to an unorganized fly box with tangledtandem rigs.

FIG. 2 shows a top perspective view that illustrates a hook-and-bobbinsized to accommodate a tandem rig with fishing hooks and flies tied toeach end of the fishing line. FIG. 3 shows a bottom perspective viewthat illustrates the hook-and-bobbin with another tandem rig looselywound about. Considering FIGS. 2 & 3 together, tandem rigs 200 and 300may be organized in a fly-box by wrapping around bobbins 201 and 301,respectively, as shown. Next, bobbins 201 and 301 may be anchored into afly-box using hook 309 (and a similar hook on the back side of bobbin201 which is not shown) by hooking hook 309 into the foam material thatis typically disposed inside fly-boxes to hold and organize flies. Thisallows bobbin 201 and 301 to lie flat and flush against the foammaterial used to hold and hook flies in the fly-box. Then, fishhooks 205and 305 may be hooked on either side of bobbins 201 and 301, similar tohow it is shown in portion B of FIG. 1.

The tandem rig may be any suitable multi-fly rig, such as a nymph rig,dual fly rig, dry dropper rig, dropper rig or similar means forremovably attaching multiple flies to the end of a fishing line while ona fishing excursion. The fly-box may be any suitable flystorage-container, such as, closable fly-box, single sided foam flypatch, fly wallet, fly-box with pages, magnetic fly box, hard-sided flybox, soft-sided fly box, angler big fly box, hinged fly box, or similarmeans to contain flies while on a fly-fishing excursion. The fishingline may be any suitable fishing filament, for example, tippet, thread,fiber, monofilament, or similar means to attach a fishhook and to allowfishing by casting the fly.

The tandem rigs shown have both eyelets of the fishhooks tied to the endof the fishing line for simplicity of illustration. In a standard nymphrig, and many other types of multi-fly rigs, it is customary for onlythe last fly in the rig to be tied to the eyelet. The flies above thelast fly are typically tied in the same direction, that is, around theround bend of the fishhook.

FIG. 4 a shows a top view that illustrates the adaptation of the hook,bobbin, and concavity to configure the hook-and-bobbin. FIG. 4 b shows aside view that illustrates the adaptation of the hook, bobbin, andconcavity to configure the hook-and-bobbin. FIG. 4 c shows a bottom viewthat illustrates the adaptation of the hook, bobbin, and concavity toconfigure the hook-and-bobbin. Considering FIGS. 4 a, 4 b & 4 ctogether, the arrangement of hook-and-bobbin 400 is selected toaccommodate exactly one tandem rig, as shown. Hook-and-bobbin 400includes two ridges 402, a cylindrical body 404, and a hook 409, asshown.

Cylindrical body 404 includes the width between lines I′ and I″, asshown. The width of cylindrical body 404 may be selected based onfactors, such as, the weight of the fishing line, the length of a tandemrig, and spacing of flies in fly-boxes. This width determines thecircumference of cylindrical body 404. Dividing the average length of atandem rig by the circumference of the cylindrical body 404 provides theapproximate number of times a fishermen would need to wind the tandemrig around the cylindrical body in order to stow the tandem rig. In oneembodiment of this invention, the diameter of the cylindrical body willbe selected to minimize the number of turns required to wind a tandemrig into the stowed position, while, minimizing the space required tostore the tandem rig within the fly-box. Also, the profile of the bodymay be selected to substantially fit within the contour of thefly-holding area of the fly-box. That is, the profile of the body mayextend up to the serrated foam teeth, the profile of the body may extendbeyond the lower edge, the profile of the body may extend beyond theupper edge. However, the profile would not be sufficiently large tointerfere with the storage, stowage or placement of flies or tandem rigsin the adjacent rows.

Ridges 402 include the width between lines O′ and O″, as shown. Thewidth of ridges 402 may be selected based upon factors such as weight ofthe fishing line, the length of a tandem rig, and spacing of flies infly-boxes. In one embodiment of this invention, the diameter of theridges will be selected to contain the fishing line used in a tandem rigwhile minimizing the overall size of ridges 402, as shown. That is, theheight of ridge 402 may be tall enough to contain the tandem rig whilewound around cylindrical body 404, but not so tall to protrude outsignificantly beyond the tandem rig while would around cylindrical body404 in the stowed position. The ridges further act to guide thefisherman's hand and the line of the tandem rig when winding the tandemrig around the hook-and-bobbin. The ridges may be any suitable flange,such as, unitary flanges, attached flanges, uniform profile, varyingprofile, rim, holder, or similar means to allow handy winding of fishingline.

The concavity (that is the depression between the ridges), shown as C,should be selected to be substantially filled after wrapping just onetandem rig around hook-and-bobbin 400, as shown. Said another way, theinner diameter of the cylindrical body 404 may be such less than theouter diameter of ridges 402 so that one tandem rig may wrap around thecylindrical body 404 while being contained by the ridges 402. Theconcavity may be any concave surface, such as, a depression with aprofile resembling a bowl, a depression with a profile resembling a U, adepression with a square profile, hollow, or similar means forcontaining fishing line while winding. Said yet another way, theconcavity may be arranged to minimize slack when the tandem rig is woundabout.

The diameter of the ridges 402 may be selected to fit within apredetermined space within a fly box, for example, in a space typicallyused by 3 to 10 (inclusive) flies. Then, the diameter the cylindricalbody 404 may be selected to completely contain one tandem rig whileminimizing the number of turns required to completely stow one tandemrig. In some embodiments, the diameter (i.e. width) of the cylindricalbody may be similar in size to the shortest portion of the contour orboundary (i.e. length top-to-bottom as a fishhook would be oriented) ofthe serrated foam fishhook holding area for hooking flies. Said anotherway, when the hook-and-bobbin is in the anchored position, one edge ofthe hook-and-bobbin should be near the top of the serrated foam whilethe other edge of the hook-and-bobbin should be near the bottom of theserrated foam. Cylindrical body 404 and ridges 402 may be made from avariety of materials. For example, metal, hard rubber, or plastic.

Cylindrical body 404 may be a solid mass, for example, by forming usinginjection molding. Alternately, cylindrical body 404 may be manufacturedby a variety of techniques, for example, machining to shape out of metalor alloys. In some embodiments, the ridges and body may be unitary. Infurther embodiments, the ridges, body and hook may be unitary, forexample, if machined out of a single piece of metal. In someembodiments, an anti-abrasion surface may be manufactured or coating maybe applied to prevent fishing line abrasion. For example, ananti-abrasive material could be hard rubber. The body may be anysuitable line-winder, such as, the cylindrical body, other convenientshapes, other handy shapes, spools, coils, rotators or other means towind a multi-fly rig while the fishhooks remain attached.

The selection of material may consider such factors as industrialoperations considerations, manufacturing techniques, potential abrasionof the fishing line, the ability of the material to avoid abrading thefishing line, economic considerations, and advances in technology.

Hook 409 may extend through cylindrical body 404, as shown. By extendingthrough cylindrical body 404, hook 409 may have additional structuralsupport. After hook 409 protrudes past the side of cylindrical body 404,hook 409 will turn at about a right angle, so that the distal end ofhook 409 and the side of cylindrical body 404 may firmly anchor to afly-box. That is, hook 409 may pierce the foam fishhook holder of thefly-box and allow cylindrical body 404 to slide down flat next to thefoam. Said another way, the distal end of the hook and the side of thebobbin should be sufficiently congruous (for example, parallel) to allowhooking and unhooking from the foam in a manner nearly identical to afishhook. The length of hook 409 that may be substantially parallel orcongruous to cylindrical body 404 can be seen between the lines H′ andH″. This length may be selected to be long enough to firmly engage withthe fly-box foam while short enough to not puncture through or beyondthe bottom of the fly-box foam. In one embodiment of the invention the,length between H′ and H″ may not be so long to extend beyond the edge ofcylindrical body 402 or beyond the edge of ridges 404.

Hook 409 may be made from a variety of materials. For example, metal,hard rubber, or plastic. The selection of material may consider suchfactors as, the ability to pierce the foam material used in fly-boxes,durability, convenience, economics, etc. In one embodiment of theinvention, metal may be preferred as a hook. In some embodiments, thehook may be near the axis of the bobbin. In other embodiments, the hookmay be off-center. The hook may be any type of suitable anchor, such as,a removable fastener, hook-and-loop, safety-pin-like fastener, permanentfastener, chemical bond, holder, or similar means for anchoring thebobbin to the fly-box/serrated foam. The hook and bobbin may beconfigured and arranged to attach to the fly-box while the side of thebobbin lays flat against (lays flush with) the fly-box, the serratedfoam that holds the flies, or both.

FIG. 5 shows a perspective view that illustrates fly-box 500 withbobbins 520, that has areas dedicated to holding fishing flies and areasdedicated to holding tandem rigs coiled about the bobbins. Fly-box 500includes cover 510, hinge 560, and latch 590, as shown. Inside, fly-box500 includes back inside cover 515, front inside cover 580, and hingedpage 570, as shown. Fly-box 500 may be opened by releasing latch 590allowing fly-box 500 to open like a book bound at hinge 560, as shown.Similarly, fly-box 500 may be closed by folding together the front andback covers along hinge 560 to allow latch 592 to snap shut, as shown.

Front inside cover 580 and the front and back of hinged page 570 haverows of foam areas 550 with serrated teeth 555, as shown. Foam areas 550are suitable for hooking flies for storage; for example, flies 540 areshown hooked to foam areas 550 on hinged page 570. Front inside cover580 and the front and back of hinged page 570 are dedicated to storingfishing flies.

The ratio of the portion of the area of the fly-box that is dedicated totandem rigs compared to standard flies may be determined by a variety offactors, for example, the type of fishing destination, the size and typeof fish to be caught, the kind of flies to imitate, the arrangement ofthe multi-fly rigs, the season of the fishing excursion, etc. In someembodiments, approximately 5% to 50% of the area would be dedicated totandem rigs (inclusive). In other embodiments, less than 5% or more than50% of the area would be dedicated to tandem rigs.

Back inside cover 515, includes a set of bobbins 520, as shown. Tandemrig 530 may be wrapped around the bobbin 520 with the fishhooks hookedinto foam areas 550. Back inside cover 510, is dedicated to storingtandem rigs.

Bobbins 520 may be attached to foam area 550. Alternately, bobbins 520may be attached directly to cover 510 by fastening to foam area 550.Fastening bobbin 520 to cover 510 may provide additional structuralsupport. Also, direct permanent connection between cover 510 and bobbins520, may provide a better experience for the fisherman winding a tandemrig because bobbin 520 will not wiggle with respect to cover 510. Thatis, the fisherman would hold cover 510 with one hand, and, wrap tandemrig around bobbin 520 with the other hand; therefore, it may be easierif bobbin 520 does not move or wiggle relative to cover 510 while beingheld. In some embodiments, the bobbins may lay flat (flush against) thefly box foam.

Foam area 550 may have serrated teeth, as shown. Foam area 550 maycomprise closed-cell foam for anchoring and releasing fishhooks andsimilar hooks. Foam area may be any suitable fishhook holder, such as,closed-cell foam, any lightweight cellular foam, expanded plastic,foamed plastic, pliable rubber, material capable of anchoring/releasinga fishhook, or similar means for anchoring/releasing a fishhook.Fishhook holders may include serrated teeth, slotted teeth, slottedfoam, no teeth at all, or a uniform, continuous edge.

FIG. 6 shows a perspective view that illustrates kit 600 with aplurality of hook-and-bobbin 620 and pre-tied fly-fishing rigs 630.Hook-and-bobbins 620 are similar to those pictured in FIGS. 2, 3, & 4a-c, that is, the bottom side has a hook for anchoring into afly-fishing box. Pre-tied fly-fishing rigs 630 include a length offishing line with a pair of hooks 610 tied to either end. Packaging 640includes a box with a clear cover to hold or to display the plurality ofhook-and-bobbin 620 with pre-tied fly-fishing rigs 630. Packaging 640contains all of these items for usability, display, and convenience.

When sold together, hook-and-bobbins 620 can be created to fitseamlessly with pre-tied fly-fishing rigs 630. The fishing line weightand fishing line length can be selected to fill precisely the concavityof the bobbin. That is, the pre-tied fishing rig 630 may wrap around thehook-and-bobbin 620 such that there is little or no left-over fishingline, and little or no left-over space (slack) to coil the fishing linearound the bobbin. Because fishermen may seek different lengths, lineweights, and fishhooks, kit 600 may include a variety of complementarysizes. The variety of complementary sizes may be derived considerfactors such as the type of rig, the potential fishing destination, thekind of flies to imitate, the season of the fishing excursion, and thesize and type of fish to be caught.

The number of hook-and-bobbins 620 may be selected depending upon avariety of factors, including, economic considerations, retailingoperations, pricing schemes, and usability factors. For example, the kit600 may include 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, or 12 mated pairs ofhook-and-bobbins 620 and pre-tied fly-fishing rigs 630. Alternately, kit600 may include more than 12 mated pairs, for example, from 12 to 72mated pairs, inclusive. Alternately, kit 600 may include a variety ofsizes, for example, varying the weight of the line, the length of theline, and the sizes of the hooks.

FIG. 7 shows a perspective view that illustrates kit 700 with aplurality of fishhooks 710, a supply of fishing line 730, and aplurality of hook-and-bobbins 720. Packaging 740 contains all of theseitems for usability, display, and convenience. Kit 700 allows afisherman to tie multi-fly rigs using the items supplied by kit 700. Forexample, fishermen may cut a portion of fishing line 730 sized for atandem rig and tie two fishhooks 710, one at each end. Then, fishermenmay tie flies to each of the fishhooks, completing the nymph rig.Finally, fishermen may wrap the completed nymph rig around thehook-and-bobbin 720 and then anchor the hook-and-bobbin and tandem rig'sfishhooks into the fisherman's fly-fishing box.

Kit 700 may come with a variety of sizes of fishhooks 710. Kit 700 maycome with a variety of sizes of hook-and-bobbins 720. Kit 700 may comewith a variety of weights of fishing line 730. Factors for selecting thevariety of sizes of fishhooks, hooks-and-bobbins, and weights of fishingline may be determined considering such factors as economicconsiderations, retail operations, manufacturing considerations,advances in technology, the intended types of fishing rigs, thepotential fishing destinations, the kind of flies to imitate, and thesize and type of fish to be caught.
